Hearing that Eric met his request and asked all the current board members of Apple to resign, Steve Jobs's expression did not relax, and he was still a little aggressive: "So, Eric, what about the technical licensing of the ARM architecture?" β
Eric knows very well what kind of person Steve Jobs is, this kind of controlling guy, if you respond to his emotions, you will be unconsciously influenced by the other person. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Leaning back on the office chair relaxedly, Eric shook his head and said, "Steve, I can't agree to this request, but as a shareholder of Apple, Apple needs to use ARM chips in the future, and Firefly Electronics will naturally not refuse." β
ARM chip technology is related to Eric's layout of the entire smartphone era in the future.
Eric plans to make Qualcomm, Yahoo, Firefly Electronics, Nokia and other companies form the current strategic pattern of Intel, Microsoft, IBM and other manufacturers, and completely monopolize the entire smartphone industry chain.
In order to complete this arrangement, it is necessary to prevent ARM technology from spreading everywhere like the original space-time.
If the ARM mobile chips laid out by the Firefly system can reach Intel's dominant position in the PC chip market, even if Apple wants to make smartphones in the future, it must purchase chips from manufacturers in the Firefly system.
In the past, the reason why Apple's mobile phone will occupy more than ninety percent of the profits of the smartphone market is that in addition to its own high-end accidents, the fierce internal competition under the Android platform is also the main reason why manufacturers using this system are unprofitable.
As long as the firefly system can master the core chip technology and operating system, and realize the monopoly position of the smartphone market in advance, it can avoid the recurrence of the fierce competition in the original time and space, or limit the competition to the most downstream manufacturers, so that the firefly system can enjoy the most abundant and stable fat in the smartphone industry.
Steve Jobs is still a little unrelenting: "Eric, if you refuse to license ARM to Apple, Apple will file a lawsuit based on the evidence we have." β
In the conference room, hearing Steve Jobs's words, everyone looked at Jobs with strange eyes, and even Larry Ellison, who was sitting next to Eric, couldn't help but glance at his friend.
Eric has neatly driven out all the original members of Apple's board of directors, and has helped them solve the biggest obstacle to controlling Apple, and is still staring at such a trivial matter, isn't it uncomfortable? Larry Ellison couldn't help but feel that Jobs was too ignorant of what he did.
"It's your business whether you sue or not," Eric said, still indifferent, "But, Steve, if I were you, I wouldn't be wasting time on this kind of thing, and what you should be thinking about now is how to bring Apple back to life." In addition," Eric looked at several members of Apple's original board of directors around him, and said, "Although they are leaving, however, the new board of directors, Firefly Investment still has to get its own seats and corresponding voting rights, which is not negotiable, and you don't threaten me with anything like this is your condition for Apple, Steve, seriously, I don't care at all if you are willing to take charge of Apple again, on the contrary, everyone knows very well that in this room, you should only be the one who cares about Apple the most." So, now, do you have any other questions? β
Steve Jobs' face was cloudy for a while, and when everyone thought he was going to run wild, Jobs still stared at Eric without moving, and said again: "Apple doesn't have enough liquidity on its books, I need $300 million." β
"Larry raised a total of 2.5 billion US dollars, and there is 50 million left after buying Apple, I will say hello to everyone, this money does not need to be returned to investors, Firefly investment will make up another 50 million, give you 100 million first, and then talk about it after it is spent."
"Yahoo's software has been released on operating systems other than the Windows platform with delayed and imperfect releases, and I want the Apple computer operating system to be treated the same as Microsoft."
"I can't guarantee that Yahoo's software will be in sync with Microsoft on the Apple computer operating system, but if there are any imperfections, I will ask them to improve them. Anything else? β
Steve Jobs thought for a moment and shook his head.
"That's it, I'm going to go to Auckland to have a look, let's go first." Eric said, nodding to the others, getting up and walking out of the conference room, where Larry Ellison glanced at Jobs, saw that he didn't move, and reluctantly got up to see Eric off.
In the conference room, everyone else got up and prepared to leave. Jobs, however, sat on a chair like a wood carving, watching Eric's figure disappear, but his eyes were a little complicated.
With the rise of Silicon Valley and the emergence of a large number of billionaires who have accumulated billionaires relying on high-tech industries, Atherton, northwest of Palo Alto, has gradually become one of the most well-known affluent districts in San Francisco.
Towards evening, in a mansion in the wooded and beautiful community of Atherton, Caroline politely sent several cleaning company employees away, and returned to the living room, where Melanie was standing in front of a fax machine receiving materials from Los Angeles, her eyes fixed on a long solid wood table next to her.
"May, what are you looking at?" Caroline walked over and helped Melanie pack her papers, while curiously following Melanie's gaze to the table.
"Look," Melanie said, gesturing to the long table, "and most of the decoration in this house is in warm tones, and this table, though it is a pale yellow wood, is a cool one. β
Caroline was even more puzzled: "What's the matter, I don't think there's anything wrong with it?" β
"Didn't our boss say that he bought this residence because his cleanliness habit was getting worse and worse, and he didn't want to live in a hotel. Cleanliness is actually a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder," Melanie said, "Think about it, will he be very uncomfortable when he sees this table?" β
Caroline smiled and said, "Eric isn't such a harsh person. β
"This has nothing to do with whether the boss is harsh or not, this is a disease, isn't it said that the boss is very similar to Howard Hughes back then, Howard Hughes is obsessive-compulsive disorder brought about by cleanliness habits are getting worse and worse, and finally can't even eat, so he slowly died."
Caroline's face suddenly showed a worried look, and she circled around the table, and said, "It should be, it shouldn't be that serious, right?" β
Melanie walked over with a smile, pointed to a place next to the fruit bowl on the table, and said, "This table may not be anything, but you see, here, there is another scratch, although it is only a short one, but it is obvious." Hehe, when the boss comes back, I'll point it out to him and see if he will be restless. β
Caroline picked up the fruit bowl and placed it on top of the scratch, then raised her little face and said to Melanie, "May, you are not allowed to play tricks on Eric like this. β
Melanie looked at the fruit bowl that left the center of the table, a little sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she nodded, "Okay, I don't say it." However, I'm angry at you, that guy doesn't want to be responsible for you, but he keeps you around, it's so hateful. β
Caroline sorted out the information in her hand, shook her head and said, "I, I don't want Eric to be responsible for me, I'm not a child." β
"Alas, poor little Carly," Melanie walked over and forcibly hugged Caroline, and together the two of them sorted out the documents that had just arrived in Los Angeles, which were all resumes. When Melanie and Caroline left Eric's assistant's office as his personal assistants, the two girls' positions became vacant and needed to be filled.
The two women were sorting out and binding more than a dozen resumes one by one at the table, but Melanie suddenly pulled out another one, stared at the photo on the resume a few times, and sighed: "This is so beautiful, Carly, for your own sake, I suggest that you secretly throw this resume away." β
Caroline reluctantly snatched the resume from Melanie's hand, dissatisfied: "May, we can't do this, it's very unethical." Caroline also looked down at the resume, it was a girl named Marissa Mayer, although it was only a passport photo, she did look very beautiful: "Well, she is only an undergraduate student in the computer science department at Stanford, so she shouldn't meet Eric's requirements." β
Melanie knew that this girl would not allow herself to mess around, but she still picked up the resume again, stuffed it to the bottom of a pile of materials, and said, "Ms. Haynes interviewed herself, if she doesn't meet the requirements, do you think she can appear here?" β
